Hey! Just write yourself a “love wanted” Substack essay and get ready to fill your dance card with Zoom Coffee Dates!

AFD is the worst 😫

This would be a great idea IF it were for matchmaking readers with what they want to read. So I could sign up for the service, fill out my likes and dislikes, and it would suggest Substack newsletters that I might enjoy. Might be a great way for some of the smaller Stacks to get some attention. (And yes, I get that the matchmaking part of it is an April Fools joke.)

Their exhaustion-reddened eyes met over a Zoom call about analytics dashboard errors.

"Hey girl, fancy a coffee?"

"I've already drunk enough today to give me heart palpitations. But why not?"

"I bet you give great header."

"Uh. Do you talk to every woman you meet like this?"

"I have a very high open rate. If you know what I mean."

"Unsubscribe and marked Spam."

"I have a very high open rate. If you know what I mean." Brilliant! 'Reminds me of when I was in the pantyhose business; I was pullin' down about 200 a year...

It would be nice to have someone to stare at while they read.

My pets have no interest in reading.

My turtle just eats his books.

You guys are the best.

Assuming for just a moment that it's NOT an April Fools' joke, the idea is intriguing, and I wish you (and those participating) great success. However, much as I might yearn to find the Martha Gellhorn to my Ernest Hemingway, my past experience with matchmaking services (since long before the internet!) has left me with such a jaundiced eye toward my own prospects with such endeavors that my own response must be "Mr. Tarlowe regrets..."

first one believes; then the magic unfolds- right?

What a lovely idea. I just learned that Tulips are a symbol of enduring love and wrote about it the other day! My hubby's favorite reading preferences are the things I write, so I think that's a good sign. Twenty years, going strong.

I went for it. Didn't even think about it being April 1. Filled it out: got matches. The joke must be that you can't change anything once you fill in the blanks—and what you upload (photo) and write (intro) doesn't actually post.

Calling it now: it goes viral and people want it for real.

I mean, c’mon. There are so DUMB fuckers out there. This would be great.
